"Saga Partners presents a knowledge-based investment framework emphasizing businesses with hard-to-replicate advantages and adaptability. The manager views AI as transformative but highly uncertain for investors, preferring to wait until business models and competitive advantages become clearer."
This letter presents a philosophical framework for investing during periods of technological change, drawing on David Deutsch's theory of knowledge creation. The manager argues that progress occurs when societies protect the freedom to criticize existing ideas and pursue better ones. Businesses create value by applying knowledge to solve customer problems, with durable businesses combining hard-to-replicate advantages (moats) with adaptability. The manager examines how newspapers lost their moats when the internet changed industry economics, while Amazon maintained its position by continually improving its solution to enduring customer wants. On artificial intelligence, the manager acknowledges AI's transformative potential but notes high uncertainty about which business models will endure and how value will be captured. NVIDIA's existing hardware, CUDA ecosystem, and developer relationships represent testable advantages, but any thesis must address competitive threats and valuation. The manager emphasizes that good investment theses use explanation to form expectations without requiring detailed predictions, connecting business advantages to long-term cash generation while remaining open to criticism as new evidence emerges.
